Yeah and you can find some good deals on 3rd gens, I see em for about 2 grand all of the time. I saw a 91 Z28 low miles for 2gs the other day on Craigslist. I'd look on there often and on recycler.com also

to get a 4th gen for 2k... IDK about that, you might be able go get a really beat up one, I would just get a nice third gen, but even getting a clean third gen will probably cost you more than that. I say just save alittle more a just get a clean car once and for all, trust me I made that mistake with my old car

Save your money until you can buy what you want. Don't make the same mistake I did and settle for a 3rd gen F body when I wanted an LT1 F body.

You're gonna end up shooting yourself.

Get an LT1 4th gen, the longer you wait....the better the outcome.

Yeah, how do you think I feel? I've been wanting an LS1 f body for the last 3 years now and I am going insane because I know I am close to getting one, but the fact that I don't have one now is driving me nuts.


Just be patient though, your car will show up soon enough.
